GPS Tracking Devices: What Are The 20 Best Uses For Them?

We are luckier than our families and friends of 20 years back because we have the benefit of GPS tracking devices. GPS is a technique of finding your location on Earth by employing the signals from a web of satellites that were launched towards the end of last century by the USA.

GPS tracking devices come in a selection of different shapes, sizes and configurations, but they all share one common characteristic. They will let you know your position, either in real time or later on.

The ability to know the position of somebody or something is very useful and can be utilised by virtually anyone!

If you're still uncertain of how GPS tracking devices can work for you then take a look at the 20 best uses for them:

1. Auto Security - If you hide GPS tracking devices in your vehicle then you can be assured it is where you left it an all times. There are types of GPS tracking devices which use the cell-phone network to update you instantly or on request re their location. If your auto's sure to be engaging to burglars, say if you're sufficiently fortunate to own a Ferrari, then you are going to be able to receive an SMS with its location twenty-four / seven.

2. Painting / artwork Security - A precious piece of art is always certain to draw attention. By using GPS tracking devices to secure such valuable pieces of art, collectors or museums can add extra security. Even though they were to be taken, their location would be immediately visible for the police.

3. Youngsters - As a parent you can never take too much care nowadays. Many GPS tracking devices are attachable by keychain to college bags or maybe belt loops. Imagine what a relief it would be to be in a position to know were your child is at every point, even if you are sitting at your desk at work? If you choose a GPS tracking device with SMS alerts or even two way calling, then you may be free from your issues.

4. Company Vehicle Fleet Tracking - Any workers who travel with company vehicles are always susceptible to faking their mileage claims. Not any more! You can remove who's truthful and who's on the take with GPS tracking devices attached to each fleet car. Just download their logged coordinates later and match them up with each employee's record. Straightforward!

5. Youths - Many GPS tracking devices include a 'geo-fence' function. You can outline your own geo-fence and then if the tracker ( attached to your teenager ) moves out of this area you will be warned mechanically. In this way you can make sure that they are studying at home and not bunking off down the park!

6. Camping enthusiasts - if you're a lover of the great outside then you are most probably into camping, but did you know that GPS tracking devices can help you? Occasionally you can get lost and incapable of finding your camp, particularly if night falls quickly or a typhoon comes in. The right device can be programmed with your camp's coordinates and then will lead you back there safely.

7. Pets - Certain pets are awfully expensive, especially thoroughbred horses, cats and dogs. Sadly these days these animals are apt to be robbed or kidnapped. If you attach GPS tracking devices to their collars / halters etc then you can know they're secure, or at least be in a position to find Rover if he's's dog-napped by someone.

8. Divers - you won't find many GPS tracking devices that'll be good under the sea, but really they can still be superb for divers. Ever been diving and found an amazing reef or wreck, but found that nobody was exactly sure of its location by the point you got back to shore? If you use a variety of device called a GPS data-logger, then you can just upload its coordinates onto your computer later. You just got the location!

9. Elderly folk - a lot adult children fret about their aged people at home, but can't do much as they are busy at work or with their own lives. Some GPS tracking devices can help with that difficulty, as they allow you to get automatic positional updates, but also act as emergency phones should the old folks have a fall and not be able to get to the phone.

10. Cheating Partners - if you are unlucky enough to have a partner who might be being devious then GPS tracking devices will help you. They are regularly sufficiently little to slip unobserved into somebody's bag or pocket, so later you can check on where they've been and confront them with the truth! So you say that you were at work yesterday afternoon? How come it asserts you were at home then?

11. Single women - we live in threatening times, especially for women who are alone. GPS tracking devices can act as a handy security measure for ladies like this, for instance, girls just starting at university. If they have an SOS function also then they can be employed to call for help from families or friends.

12. Holiday Pictures - have you ever been on holiday to some exotic place and taken a load of footage but then not been sure where they were of when you ultimately got home. Choose GPS tracking devices with geo-logging then, and you'll be able to sync your photos with the exact location and time they were taken. Neat!

13. Bicyclists - Wind in your hair, muscles working like a perfectly tuned machine. There's nothing quite like cycling, but unlike vehicles it can be difficult to take a look at a GPS navigator while pedalling along. However GPS tracking devices can keep a log of your favorite route and time which you can download later and enjoy riding continually.

14. Police / private detectives - GPS tracking devices are already commonly used by the safety forces and agencies for tracking criminals. Attach them to their vehicle or person to se where another big deal is going down.

15. Hikers - It is easy to get lost in natural habitats, ask Bear Grylls! If you have no map and are not adept at navigating with the sun, stars or compass cacti then GPS tracking devices will be a great relief. You can programme in your goal location, say the closest city, and then the device will steer you there with directional arrows irrespective of where you are. Don't forget to take a look at your boots for scorpions when you wake up!

16. Disabled people - This group of people can be quite in danger of accidents and other Problems. It might not be possible to give them twenty four hour care, but you can rest simple understanding that with certain GPS tracking devices they will be able to send you an SOS message and you are going to be able to understand where they are to send help in real-time.

17. Explorers - if you are a real-world Indiana Jones then you'll want to pack the GPS tracking device with your whip and fedora. You may not know where you are going as you leap into deep, undiscovered jungles, but you're GPS tracking device will know where you are. Your back up team will be in a position to track your location remotely, or at a minimum come and find your decaying corpse.

18. Yacht / Cruiser Security Boats may be big, but they're also extremely valuable which makes them a draw for burglary. It might be easy to hide one of today's GPS tracking devices on board though, so if the worst happens you are going to be able to find her. You may use them to log you route and time which may be helpful when sailing from one destination to another.

19. Pro Photographer - If you take a picture that's what you get, a picture. But by syncing your GPS tracking device's info with your pictures you have pictures with additional info such as time, date, location and much more attached in the picture's meta-data. When you have thousands of pictures to catalogue this could well be useful.

20. Vehicle Park Locator - Not the same as tracking your automobile in the event of theft. Here we're using GPS tracking devices to lead us to the location of our wheels. Excellent for in large, multi-story auto parks. Don't say you've never lost your auto before!

What's the very next step?

I'm sure one of those uses would be acceptable for you and the good news is that nowadays GPS tracking devices are inexpensive enough for everybody to benefit from, beginning from around only twenty greenbacks online! So get looking now and shortly you'll be using the joys of GPS tracking devices everyday and you will wonder how you ever got on without them!

Motivation In The Legion

What can motivate humans to achieve the extraordinary? This article tries to find out by examining the experience of 12 volunteers who decided to spend a month training like the legionnaires.

For generations, the French Foreign Legion has been romanticized as a refuge for men seeking a second chance in life. But what is the Legion really like?

Recently, I watched a television series on the UK ITV Channel 4 in which explorer Bear Grylls and 11 other volunteers headed to the searing heat and scorching sand of the Sahara desert to find out. They attempted to endure a month at a camp that replicated the Legion's own basic training.

The French Foreign Legion was formed in 1831 as a mercenary army to fight France's colonial wars in Africa. You couldn't join if you were French. The Legion gave recruits a new identity with no questions asked. It drew men from all walks of life from criminals to old Etonians.

Nowadays, it is a modern fighting force of 8 thousand men who train in the South of France. Men sign on for 5 years minimum. However, North Africa is still regarded as its spiritual home. There are recruits from 136 nations in the legion. Their common language is French

The Legion is still a legendary force famous for heroism and endurance. Members of the Legion were first motivated to join by their desire to escape their past or by their wish to be part of a legend. But what kept them motivated when they realised they had landed themselves in some kind of hell for five years?

What can keep the rest of us motivated when we realize we have bitten off more than we can chew? Maybe we can learn from the lessons experienced by Bear Grylls and the eleven volunteers who had one month of hell in front of them

They were yelled at in French from word go. However, Sgt Chef Peter Hauser made some concessions to television and spoke in English at times:

"It will be for you the hardest month of your life but at the end of it you will be better; you will be stronger. From this moment, don't think anymore. Just do what we tell you to do."

The Sergeant Chef then gave a sample of what he meant. He shouted out:

"Passu! Debout! Passu! Debout!" He pointed downwards when he shouted "Passu!" and pointed up when he shouted "Debout!" He spoke fast without hesitation.

The temperature was over 40 degrees and getting hotter. However, the men did not hesitate to obey orders. They flung themselves to the ground (passu) and then stood up (debout) with enthusiasm mixed with fear.

If we had the same control over ourselves as the Sergeant Chef had over the men, we would achieve much more than we do. We would not waste time getting out of bed slowly for a start. "Debout!" Just stand up and get going!

We would not hesitate to do what we did not feel like doing. We would not think; we would simply act. We could learn to shout continuous and rapid commands to ourselves in our own brains so that we would not leave any space for doubts and excuses and fears to slow us down. We could also be affirming in our minds that we are getting better and stronger.

Later, Sergeant Glenn Ferguson, a combat veteran and ex-legionnaire took over. He was from America but had fully embraced the language and spirit of the Legion. He had a fierce pride in having been a legionnaire.

"Ne regard pas! Don't look at me! You don't have the right to look at me. I am here to break you. This is what you want. This is why you came. I need men not a bunch of screaming women cos they got hurt feet; because their knees hurt; because their arms hurt; because their back hurts

Behind me is a bell if you're tired and you want to go home because you miss your mommy; because you miss your girlfriend; you will ring the bell and you can go home but you will have to spend 24 hours in jail as agreed. We don't want whiners we don't want losers; those that do not give 110 percent."

Sergeant Ferguson teaches the concept of pride. Slackers and non-achievers do not deserve even to look at the achievers until they too have faced and overcome the same obstacles and privations.

He also teaches us not to give in because we feel pain. I experienced the sore feet he mentions when I was about 17 years old. My friend and I foolishly decided to walk around the TT motorcycle race course in the Isle of Man. We were young and stupid and wore gym shoes! The course was about 36 miles long.

Our feet gradually swelled up and were painful. Temptation came in the form of a kind driver who offered us a lift about 5 miles from the end of the course. Our pride kept us going and we turned down the offer and walked to the end.

We felt like heroes but could barely walk for a week. Sometimes you need to ignore the pain to achieve your objective.

Sergeant Glenn taught a great lesson on how to think of pain.

He spoke to one of the volunteers who was holding the press up position:

"Do you know every man has his breaking point?"

"Oui! Sergeant."

"Do you realise I can make you stay in this position for hours?"

"Oui! Sergeant."

"Do you know what pain is? Pain is weakness leaving your body?"

"Pain is weakness leaving the body!" What a great thought to hold in your mind when you are in pain. When I studied Kung Fu under Tony Leung from Hong Kong, we would spend half an hour in a horse stance (standing as if we were sitting on a very wide horse) until our legs shook with the pain and the strain. A thought like "Pain is weakness leaving your body" would have helped.

We can learn at least three great motivational lessons from the above.

Don't think; just do. Empty your mind of everything except your next action. Give yourself urgent,no-nonsense commands.

Have pride in the person you can become by ignoring whatever is hurting.

Become strong by telling yourself that pain is weakness leaving your body!

If you would like an acronym to help you to remember these lessons (and all great lessons are well worth remembering) make up your own or try this one: DIP (D for Do - I for Ignore the parts that hurt - P for Pain is weakness leaving your body)
